Don't fit upgrade pads to the rear of the vehicle unless the same upgrade is fitted to the front. The Thermic Black coating is an anti - corrosion layer for long - lasting rust resistance. You don't need to remove it before installation. Avoid using brake cleaner or other methods to remove the coating, as this isn't covered by the EBC warranty. The coating will naturally wear off in the pad swept area within the first 10 to 20 stops after installation. This part fits a wide range of vehicles including Scion FR - S (2013 - 2016), multiple Subaru models from 2011 - 2022, and Toyota 86/GR86 from 2017 - 2022.

How to use: Install the brake pads and rotors on your vehicle following the general brake installation process. Make sure to follow the rule of not upgrading rear pads without front upgrades. Things to note: Do not try to remove the Thermic Black coating using brake cleaner or other methods. This action is not covered by the EBC warranty. Maintenance advice: After installation, during the first 10 to 20 stops, the Thermic Black coating in the pad swept area will be removed naturally. Check the brakes regularly for normal wear and tear. If you notice any unusual noises or reduced braking performance, have the brakes inspected immediately.
